you don't have to apologize for your post, but honestly, neither should caesar. you both basically said the same thing about wanting to be near your own kind or whatever (although he wasn't even being serious), and your post was deemed legit, while he was flamed by the next 10 posters. i don't think there's anything wrong with it either way--i mean, who the hell cares?gujuDoc said:Hey everyone,
I wanted to apologize, because I think I provoked that poster Caesar into writing his post, when I said I want to go to a more Asian populated area.
I didn't mean that in an offensive way. What I meant was, I grew up in an area where there were very few Indians, and I have always hated it when I am with other Indians and can't speak my own language and have to go an hour away just to go to the nearest temple.
My reason for wanting to go to a more Asian populated area is because it is a lot like being in India, and when I am older and have children, I want them to be able to attend temple and learn there language through classes provided by such and how to do Indian things like dancing etc.
Maybe I should have rephrased it to say to go to a more diverse population.
But I'm truly sorry if I offended you Caesar. I didn't mean it that way.

really? what part of town/campus? it wasn't too pictureesque when i was there, but maybe i wasn't looking in the right place.NubianPrincess said:UPITT in the fall
Thanks The views from the hilltops or from the top of the biomed sciences tower is amazing. Of course, this time of year, the folliage is at it's best.superdevil said:really? what part of town/campus? it wasn't too pictureesque when i was there, but maybe i wasn't looking in the right place.
good sig, too, btw.
Caesars0331 said:I can totally understand wanting to be around people of your own culture, hobbies, beliefs etc..To me, thats normal for most people.
true, the view from the biomedical tower is sweet. this time of year is pretty, but travel gets crazy-expensive. i couldn't get interviewee discount rates for hotels at wake forest or dartmouth because of all the damn "leafers" coming out of NYC/etc. to go on vacation to look at the damn trees. its like every autumn half the population of new york turns into hippies and creates traffic jams/chaos wherever the change of colors can be found.NubianPrincess said:Thanks The views from the hilltops or from the top of the biomed sciences tower is amazing.

Anyway, I vote for UCLA. Worst I saw was Vanderbilt, which needed a good scrubbing with soap and water. OHSU is nice in its way.
VPDcurt said:Some of you are truly incompetent and I find it hilarious that you all took the bait on Caesar's post. An Asian person writes that they, being an Asian, would like to attend a school that has more Asians. Everything is fine. Then a white person writes that they would like to go to a school with more whites, and everyone begins attacking him/her. I think all of you should abandon a career in medicine and go work for the Kerry/Edwards campaign or the ACLU. Why is everyone so quick to attack? Just chill out. What is so wrong with a white person wanting to be around other whites anyway? It's apparently OK for other ethnicities.
kstone13 said:That's hilarious, your point has a smack of truth to it which makes it rather comical. However, the ACLU is a fantastic organization whose fundamental aim is protecting the rights of individuals and not letting society get the best of them. Government or the individual? I'll error on the side of the individual every single time! You may not like all of their rulings but how can you fault them for taking their job seriously???
...but seeing that your from richmond VA and it begins to make a little more sense.
VPDcurt said:Sorry to add to the confusion, but I am actually from Connecticut. I'd respond to your comments regarding the ACLU (some of which I do agree with actually), but I don't want this thread to get off topic.
